Divorce or legal separation doesn’t always need to be settled in court. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as mediation and arbitration, can provide a private and less acrimonious way to reach mutually agreeable solutions. In mediation, an impartial professional assist both parties in discussing preferred outcomes and reach a nonbinding agreement. If partners can't agree on outcomes, arbitration may be the next best option, where a private judge will make a binding judgment. The pros of mediation and arbitration include saving time and money, maintaining confidentiality, less stress for children, and retaining control over outcomes. However, the cons of mediation and arbitration include the need for legal advice, the requirement for both partners to compromise, the absence of the right to appeal, and the inability to uncover hidden assets or income. Therefore, if a partner is not willing to negotiate or compromise or if hidden assets are suspected, mediation or arbitration may not be effective in resolving divorce issues. Read More.

A Will is a fundamental legal document, and being named as its executor signifies immense trust to execute the deceased's final wishes. The executor, appointed by the Will's creator, manages the deceased's affairs after their passing. If no valid Will exists, the person is said to have died intestate, and the rules of intestacy apply. In such cases, the Court may appoint an administrator, a role akin to an executor. The chief responsibility of both roles is to administer the estate of the deceased, which includes tasks like obtaining probate, managing estate assets, and settling debts. Given the immense responsibility, executors also face legal risks. However, there's a silver lining: Executors can claim commission for their services, reflecting the magnitude and importance of their role. Read More.
